Spirit nemesis

Spirits belong to the YIN world and therefore yin in nature. Cold, dark places and unused places are places for the spirits. Night time (yin) is where spirits can roam freely in the open. A shopping complex which is sealed from sunlight will find spirits even in daylight hours.

Sunlight (natural yang) is what spirits are afraid of. Praying in a temple filled with Gods and Deities recharges your energy and raise the protection power against spirits.

Chanting of Buddhist mantras and sutras with the heart and soul brings the power of the Gods into your surrounding, policing the disturbing spirits into temporary remission. Playing of chanting DVDs by great spiritual masters can also chase away these spirits.

Placing of the correct type of crystals can acts as a spirit repellent.

Spirits belonging to the family are free to roam in the house. Chantings help these family spirits to be disciplined and hopefully help them to raise their level of spirituality and move on.

Other spirits are not suppose to enter the house having blessed God statues for protection unless these spirits are already present before you occupy. These left out spirits may become nasty as the humans are encroaching into their 'rightful' place. Some spirits are unknowingly escaped 'police' detection and entered into the house.

Allow maximum sunlight to overcome the yin and negative spiritual energy in the house.

Burning of Kamanyan regularly also helps to cleanse the house. Throwing  of sea salt has a similar cleansing power.

Who is the better fighter ?

A young lady customer once asked whether Ya Wen ( late Bruce Lee's Master ) or Wong Fei Hong was the better fighter. Her father answered that they were from different time and was hard to compare.

As for my opinion, these two good martial art exponents could be best of friends and would not let the world knows the outcome of closed door free sparring. Who was the better exponent did not seem important.

To knock out, lame or even kill your opponent in a few strokes of martial art or in mere seconds can be very outstanding. However, to heal a person of illnesses or injuries will be far more outstanding.

It is far easier to take a life than to heal a life.

Reciprocation

Tit for tat. Never do things to others that you do not want them to do on you. An action has an equal reaction but at a different time.

A good action deserves good reciprocated reward. If rewards are not taken into consideration when doing good deeds then these deeds will become Merits. These merits may be a blessing when the time is ripe.

A stroke person lying in a vegetative state on a bed suffers many more years when the good deeds are converted into rewards in this present life. The rewards are reinstated into this person in the form of extended life span. Ironically, it becomes a torture instead of ripping the rewards and enjoying oneself.

So, do not brag about good deeds. Do not do good deeds for the sake of good returns and rewards.

Thoughts

A person who regularly thinks of problems or possible problems that may arise in future and their solutions will have an edge over sudden problem solver. Although certain problems may be imaginary or have not happen before but it can happen in reality. When they arise, you have the solutions at hand. It is similar to training exercises for natural disasters. Through more training exercises, unexpected and unseen obstacles will appear. Solving all the surface and hidden problems will give all the exercise personnel the skills and efficiency in handling such incident.

The more the thought process, the clearer the problems and solutions come to light. This person will be calm and efficient in handling the problems. The thinking process helps the mind to quick problem solving. Only through mind trainings and also practical trainings, skills and knowledge can be developed.

 However if large scale exercise is not possible, mind problem solving is the next best thing available.

Death Calling

Be faithful to your religion and/or righteousness even after the last breath.

If the dying person can realise that death is imminent, release all the anger and hatred within and chant the religious scriptures, sutras or mantras even after the transition to the next life.

Spiritual beings will guard and direct the path to you. Evil Spirits or Devils may disturb the transition. All obstacles passing through the transit world will fall apart to give you a direct journey to your next destination.

A person who has loss consciousness due to stroke or accident may not be able to perform the last critical task of chanting before death. If this person has early knowledge of the above information, even in the unconscious state, the action can still be carried out in the state of spiritual consciousness for recovery or going through the transit world instead of dwelling aimlessly in space.

There is nothing to lose chanting during the dying process but every thing to gain in the next life.

Managing our Life when we grow old

Old naturally comes with spoilage and failure in the body's memory and functions. Pains and diseases will come along with age. Body metabolism slows down with age. Female sex reaches the peak growth at the age of 28 years old while the male sex has a slightly longer peak growth at 32 years old. After passing the peak growth age, our body will quickly feel dis-ease whenever we eat or drink something that is not suitable to our body. Example: Our lower back and knee joints can be painful if drinking excess of cold drinks after the peak age. However, a young active teenager may not have the same complaint.

Old age comes with many health problems like Diabetes; Stroke; Hypertension, Cancer and Dementia, etc. which require life-long medical care. The illnesses can come suddenly without any warning but with regular medical checks, the early warning signs can be detected. Sometimes, the tell-tale signs of constant giddiness; thirst and tiredness; changes in skin colour; constant abdominal pains, dark urination and numbness in the arms and swelling of the legs can indicate body dysfunctions.

Old age also comes with positive vitae such as different work experiences; mellow characters; positive advice giver, numerous skills and wisdom, etc. 

As death must come after growing old, the old must prepare for the next transition. Planning finance for old age and sickness, proper distribution of assets and wealth if any. Practise meditation and a religion for tranquility. Avoid burdening the younger children for support as they have their personal burdens and families to take care. If work done is minimal, practise consuming less food. This will not overburden the body functions and allow the body to heal itself. Eat only as much as the energy you required. Regular exercises must be carried out but at a less intense pace. Fitness and energy level are in decline. Mix with people of your age to find solace as youngsters have different needs.

The type of burial service must be made known to the family before passing on. The type of religious ritual / cemetery burial / cremation / sea burial (ash) / the place to rest your ash. It is advisable to find a resting place for your ash long before you end your last breath. Prepare a large and two smaller photographs in your best clothing for funeral and registration for your last resting place.

A Will should be drafted if the wealth and assets are to be distributed according to your wish, otherwise the Government will distribute them equally to all surviving immediate family members, Spouse 50% and children 50% or children 100% if spouse is deceased or Surviving Siblings and parents if you died as a single. If you are single, the family of dead sibling(s) are not entitled to the distribution of your estate unless indicated in a Will. It is always with great  fairness to distribute equal share to all members of entitlement to ensure no dissatisfaction and disharmony among themselves even though an individual is a bad egg. You will definitely not want to be cursed even in death for being unfair.

What is influencing our Life ?

In the descending list which affects or can influence one life is
1. Own life (fixed)
2. Luck cycles (changing)
3. Geomancy
4. Study and knowledge
5. Compassion and Charitable Hearts

Through these forms of modification and changes, our life can be modified. These methods used the assistance of the five elements ie Metal; Wood; Water, Fire and Earth.

However to supersede the governance of the Five elements and the Influence of the Heavens, Earth and Humans on our life,  the practice of EMPTINESS or FORMLESS or NO FORM or 'NOTHINGNESS' is the way. One of the known method to practise EMPTINESS is through Meditation.

Siblings/Friends as Subordinate/Partner

It is always not advisable to have siblings or friends to be working in close proximity in your own company as subordinate or partner but it is alright with working in other companies both as employees.

When you are the boss of the company and the children are your subordinates, the working relationship is a comfortable one as it resembles a father and children relationship. However, if the subordinates/partner are your own siblings or close friends, any serious conflict in work will be damaging to sibling relationship or friendship if the siblings or friends do not distinguish between a working and a family relationship or friendship. The result will usually ends in loss of a family relationship or friendship.

Danger of Electric Fan

All standard fan blades are designed to tilt clockwise inwards towards the rear fan motor and also rotate in a clockwise direction. A finger placed through the protective guard from the front will not cause any serious injury but minor abrasion of the skin.

However, if the finger is placed through the protective guard from the back of the fan motor, the fan blade becomes a razor sharped cutting tool which can cut off the finger if the fan speed is very fast.

Relief lower back pain during sleep

Adjust the pillow height with large hard covered books to reduce the pain of the backbone especially the lumbar region in a back sleeping position.

A slightly raised head/neck position will cause the upper thoracic to bend slightly making the lumbar more relax and straighter, supported by the mattress. As the lumbar becomes stress free, there will be less pain in the lumbar after waking up from sleep.

One of the reason why some people without injuries always have lumber pain is because of spinal curvature have worsen due to osteoporosis or degeneration of the backbone, poor standing and sitting postures and habits. Cold drinks, foods and fruits also cause rheumatic pain in the lower back.

Testing the result of treatment without equipment

Generally after the treatment of joint pain; sprain of ankles; injury to the vertebra or back bone, etc, it is sometimes difficult to determine the result of the treatment other than verbal enquiries with the clients.

One way to determine the result of the treatment is to perform a vibratory percussion directly on and around the area that is treated using a clamp fist or the palm. As all the joints and backbone are connected with sensory nerves, any discomfort or pain when percussed will indicate that the problems have not been completely cure.

Knowing Life

Everyone has a destined life. To grow up with or without education. To be born in a wealthy; rich or poor family or has just enough for the passing days. It is difficult to compare with each other. Some people live in big bungalows while some people have to beg for a living and homeless. To become wealthy through hard work, persistency and moral business ventures are difficult but possible. But to become wealthy through immoral businesses, trickery and bring harm to people are easy.

A typical person will get married after having a comfortable career. Buy a comfortable home and have a few children. Work for the family expenses and children's education until they are self independent, become successful in career and financially capable and also hope that their children will take care of them when they are old and shower them with family love. Grow old happily and healthily with the spouse and leave this world peacefully.

Well, not everyone can live a life they wanted. For all the wrong reasons... failed in education; juggling with roller coaster careers; married a spouse that ended in divorce; having children without proper educations and unable to support them; having to support the children even when they reach adulthood; many quarrels in the family, poor health and unable to support oneself and die miserably.

To meet a soul partner and get married is part of destiny. A good or bad marriage is also predestined.

What are children to the parents? The children are only partially belong to the parents. The flesh and blood of their children are literally created by their parents but their souls have been existed for thousands of years. Their souls are just destined to enter into the bodies of the babies that become your children. Your children are also part of your Karma. They bring you joy; happiness; pain; sadness; anger; hatred, hardships, sorrows and sufferings, etc. They are either here for their own Karma, to return gratitude to their parents or to create havocs and sufferings to their parents.

When the parents are around, the family members usually gather together regularly even after the children are married. When the parents passed away, all the children will disperse in different directions unless there is close relationship unity. It resembles a hugh tree (parents) with the monkeys (children) playing. When the tree falls, all the playing monkeys will run away, whether to another tree or on their own separate way.

We can create human lives but we are not able to control deaths. We form a family with our spouse and then multiply with our offsprings. The junior starts a family and will multiply with their offsprings. They may live in other places. The seniors are left alone. When one senior spouse passed on, the final situation is left with oneself. At the beginning it started with a single person and the last journey is finally alone.

Attachment brings happiness as well as sorrows and sufferings because not possessing someone we love, to live with someone that we do not like or hate and not possessing the things that we want are sufferings. Non attachment is knowing the result of attachment and not being attached with it in the beginning. When there is attachment, a death of a lover, spouse or own child, will generate great sorrow and grief. To a person with non attachment towards this dead person, there is no sorrow or suffering for the loss because it is part of life.

Sometimes by loving someone a lot, we want this person to be happy in life and we may let go of this person to go on his/her journey or marriage. To possess this person cannot guarantee life long companionship or marriage without the other person willingness and commitment. Many marriages have fallen apart even though solemn swearing wedding ceremonies had taken place. It is simply a contract between two party in this present world. Nothing is guaranteed and nothing last forever. Life is impermanent. No human lives forever.

When you can truly understand life and see everything as impermanent, we can reduce many suffering of emotions, sorrow and grief. As a layman living in this mundane world, we need love and strive for many things. The more we wanted, the more we are stressed. Obsession is a destroyer. Try to let go of many unnecessary wants and see things in their deepest truth, we will have more freedom and live much happier.

Posters , photographs and dolls have great mystical influence on the family members of the house especially the master or mistress.

A female poster or photograph of an idol or actress or a female doll unknowingly placed in the 'Father' sector will invite a relationship of the master with another female. Similarly, a male poster or photograph or male doll placed in the ' Mother' sector will influence the mistress to have a relationship with another man.

A baby doll placed in the 'Father' sector with the couple not making love to each other; sleeping apart; relationship has plateau, the wife cannot conceive or cannot conceive anymore, the husband might be influenced by the geomanic forces to commit adultery and a baby will be born by another woman.

It is therefore very important not to place non-family pictures and dolls indiscreetly in the house.

All houses have their main doors sited at the living room or hall ( A sub-sector of the whole house). When the main door is located in the sector represented by the particular member of the family as in the above diagram, then this particular person will have the habit of always not being in the house and always travelling. This is not the fault of this person but the geomanic influence of the house.

A specific animal ingot placed in a particular location of the hall from the analysis of the Bazhi of that person, could correct the geomancy influence on this particular person.

Correcting the unborn position in the womb before birth

Medically it is dangerous to give birth to a unborn baby with legs pointing down in the womb.

By nature, unborn babies always move their heads downwards in the womb during the last stage 1-2 weeks before birth. However, there may be exception.

The therapeutic DIY action below may help to correct the problem.
Press the acupuncture point Zhiyin with the thumb regularly two weeks before birth on both last toes of the expecting mother if the unborn baby is not in the correct position ready for birth. The point is located at the outer ends at the rear of the nail of last toe on each leg. It stimulates the whole Urinary Bladder Meridian which runs from the said location of the last toe; behind at the calf  to thigh to the whole backbone; neck, over the head and finally ends at the inner side of the eye.

Use a transparent plactic sheet and draw 8 equal 45 degree sectors on a 360 degree circle. Name the 8 main direction on the transparent chart and the respective family representation N(MS)-NE(YS)-E(ES)-SE(ED)-S(MD)-SW(M)-W(YD)-NW(F) in clockwise.. Place it over the centre plan of the whole house to determine the 9 sectors representation for analysis. Write the family member representation on the 9 sector plan of the house.

As long as the plan of the house is a complete square or rectangle, there is no missing sector.
 
If the sector for remedial action falls in the kitchen or washroom, then apply the remedy in the living and/or bedroom dividing them into nine sectors and apply the directional chart to determine the family representation.

1. Want a Baby and Specific gender.

Most couples wanted children in their marriages but unfortunately some cannot conceive due to medical reasons or without any logical reason. This topic is to analyse and hopefully provide a happy solution to the couples who cannot conceive without any medical reason.

a. Place a picture of a healthy beautiful baby boy in the East sector of the house if the couple wants the first child as male sex or a picture of a healthy beautiful baby girl in the South East sector if the couple wants the first baby of the female sex.

b. If the sector of the Eldest Son is missing in the plan of the house, the couple will not expect any son in the family. Similarly, if the sector of the Eldest Daughter is missing in the plan of the house, the couple will not expect any daughter in the family.

A missing sector means that the house is not a full square or rectangle and has a portion cut away from the plan of the house.

 If the house has a missing sector and the couple is childless, the couple will not be able to conceive the respective child gender indicated in that missing sector. It becomes most important if the first male/female child sector is absent.

However, the couple can stay in a good fengshui hotel or in a different house with good fengshui just to 'make' baby. If the Ba-zhi of the couple is taken into consideration, the chance of conceiving will be greatly improved with the best selected period and time for creating a baby.

Urinary Bladder Infections

Urinary bladder infections occurred more often in female than in males. Fever does not seems to go away. The lower back aches and there may be burning sensation while urination. In serious cases, the legs are not even able to support the person.

Why are females more susceptible to this infections?

There is a need to wash thoroughly after urination and dry properly as the damp area smeared with urine may cause bacteria growth which enters into the urinary system.

After clearing the bowel, females should use toilet paper to wipe from front to back of the anus. There may be bacteria transmission if the waste matter is accidentally come into contact with the Vulva if wiping action is from back to front of the anus. The auto-wash sanitary may pose a hazard to females as the flushing of the anus is from the rear and waste matter liquid can splash and come into contact with the Vulva. Washing should be done from front to back.

During sexual intercourse, some sex partners practise oral intercourse during foul play. The bacteria of the saliva thus makes contact with the urinary system. Virginal bacteria is also transmitted to the partner from the saliva in the mouth. A sterilised rubbery latex condom can be used to prevent direct contact.

Anal intercourse also introduces bacteria from the Large Intestine to the Urinary system when the virginal intercourse is performed later. The more hygienic way is to use condom for anal intercourse and not use the same condom for virginal intercourse. However, the condom used for virginal intercourse can be used for anal intercourse as introducing bacteria from the virginal to the Large Intestine has no serious consequences.

Venereal diseases are also the likely causes.

Urinary Bladder infections in males are usually due to prostate infections and venereal diseases.

Practise safe sex for both partners' health and well being.

Urine treatment

Urine treatment has a long history. Many practitioners of urine therapy have claimed that drinking their own urine can help to treat many ailments in our body when modern medicine fails to work.

Even though it may be true, some precautions have to be taken. The urine from critically-ill people like Aids; Kidney failure, Diabetes and Cancer sufferers are highly toxic and not suitable for use.

Drinking urine may be difficult to stomach, however urine for external application for skin diseases can be an alternative to modern medicine. Avoid skin with open wounds.

Urine contained toxins which is extracted from the blood through the Osmosis process by the kidneys and collects in the urinary bladder (Yang in nature) before discharging through the urethra. The application of the yang toxic urine for skin diseases which are usually yang in nature may be effective. That is poison versus poison. Poison discharging from underneath the skin versus the urine, poison discharged by the whole body system. Use fresh urine for each new application. Urine left over for a period may becomes contaminated with other dangerous bacteria.

It is your body wellbeing. Doctors only prescribe medicine that they are familiar with and apply their knowledge within the Medically approved methods of treatment. All problems or diseases have solutions or remedies. It is a matter of time; right timing and condition to meet your nobleman who can helps you; patience, fate and blessing of the people seeking them and the attitude of not giving up.

Ghost Disturbance

Well, it is a fact that when a person has low spirituality or bad luck, he/she will likely to see or disturb by spirit.

What to do when you are in close vicinity to a spirit? All your goose pimples especially both arms will be standing on ends and your will feel the shiver down your spine.

When you are asleep, the entity may pressed on your abdomen. It is a struggle to escape when you are unable to wake up, you can only move your hands with great difficulty. Your mind know that you are under attack by an entity.

How to get yourself free? There are basically two simple methods you can do. Make a lotus symbol or the figure of a buffalo's head and its two horns with one of your hands. Touch the middle and ring finger with the thumb. If you can execute the connection of the respective fingers during the attack, the entity will disappear immediately and you will be fully awaken from the ordeal. Another method is to chant the Buddhist phrase aloud ' OM MANI PADME HUM' during the attack. This is a powerful chant that can counter most spiritual attacks.

Clear the area of junks and brighten the place up if there is a presence of an entity. Hang a 6 ancient coins amulet on the wall and also place a 7 starred crystals at the same location.

To check the state of the house of spiritual and geomanic conditions, bring along a baby or a dog into the house. If the baby feels comfortable or the dog looks normal, than that place is alright to stay or cleansing has been successful.

When the entity continues to cause disturbance, consult a Taoist; a priest, spiritual medium or a Buddhist monk, etc to handle the problem.

You can contact a friendly Buddhist Resident Monk, Bhante Y. Sumanasara at 6396- 9182 / 9234-6944 at The World Buddhist Society 9B Hamilton Road Singapore 209180 to seek assistance.

Show your mannerism when you have to stay in a Hotel or temporary lodge. Knock on the door and ask for permission to stay for the specific number of days before entering the room. There may be an entity present. You are unknowingly disturbing or encroaching into its space. A fresh piece of 'soccer' grass kept in our pocket can protect us temporarily. Change the room if all these methods fail to work.

Some of the entities haunt the living who encroach into their space. These entities may have died horribly during their life time by murder; torture and suicide. Another cause may be due to their remains in their burial grounds have not be cleared thoroughly and structural buildings are built over it. The latter case will be very difficult to resolve without removing their remains.

Learn to show respect and kindness to the spirits; the dead, the ghost festivals and the remains of the dead as they processed all the good and bad human characters even when they died. However, they may be filled with more hatred; anger and pettiness because of being trapped in this world without friends and family.

Wide Angle Vision

A closed up view allows more minute details to be observed. This is an advantage when  micro work is concerned. However in our daily mundane life, looking at  micro details of everything is not sufficient, we must learn to look at the macro details. Micro details only provide limited representation while the full or wide angled pictorial vision provide the whole representation of problems, happenings and possible corrective actions. 

If you are a particular department head, the situation in your department is known to you but you do not know much of other departments. The Chief Executive Officer who oversees all the departments in the group will be able to see the overall situation of the whole company. Only through constant meetings, coordinations and updates will let all the department heads know the company's targeted plans and progress. If you are holding a low position in a section of a department, you know your work well but do not know much of what is going on in your whole department.

If you are involved in a situation which is difficult to solve, close your eyes. This is a mental method. Let your mind move out from your present state. Focus your  mind with a pictorial view of the whole situation; environment, all the happenings and people that are involved. It will be like you are standing outside your house, office or company looking at your working environment. Relax and meditate by bringing your mind to a calm state. You may begin to 'see' what is going wrong and possible solutions may come in bits and pieces. You will 'understand' the whole problem and able to apply the solutions.

The physical method is to stand outside the environment you are in or having  problems to tackle. Stand or sit calmly at a short distance away and look at the whole space. Observe the working attitude of your staff and how the works are being carried out. Why does a particular staff always report in sick? Objects and empty spaces begin to 'talk' to you. It may be the problems with bad geomancy...

Repeat these methods until you are able to find the solution you wanted.

Foreign Domestic Maids

Well, many employers do not know how to treat their maids properly or they may think that they have treated them nicely because they did not ill-treat them.

Some employers really abused their maids with different unimaginable and inhuman methods. These maids suffered in silence until a point of no return when retaliation with death with the employer or their own suicide. This is a great pity in human race. Some employers are still treating maids as slaves, beating and torturing them because they do not follow instructions or make mistakes. It is a shame. If the maids are really incompetent, send them back to the maid agency or back to their country. It is tormenting to both employer and maid.

Usually the maids are not very educated and do not understand our dialects or languages. They may nod their heads in acknowledgement that they understand or know what is tasked on them, however they may misunderstand the whole issue and do something else instead. As time passes, learn to understand your maid's character and habits. Check on them to ensure the tasks given to them are done in your  manner. Have the patience and endurance to teach your maids for a period of time, otherwise change a new maid. Every family has their own ways and schedule of doing things, similarly every maid has her own way of doing work. Give them a list of tasks to be carried out for each day and check their performance. As a matter of fact, we must not be too demanding.

Sufficient rest and proper sleep must be given to the maids to ensure their good health. A sick maid will spend on medical cost and zero work done. Cooping in the house may cause anxiety effect of imprisonment, unhappiness and frustration for the maids. Bring the maids out for marketing, shopping and outings whenever possible. Give them extra money or gifts on special occasions to reward them for their good work, birthday and new year, etc. Treat the maid as part of your family members is the solution to the maid and employer relationship. If both parties treat each other as enemy then you can expect a stealth war to surface in time to come. Treat your maid like everyone else in your family with compassion, love and understanding as well as providing physical, mental and emotional support.

There may be a need to install remote cameras in your house to observe the maids if they are employed to take care of young babies or old folks that cannot speak because they cannot tell you if they are being ill-treated. Ensure that all valuables and money are properly locked up so as not to invite unwanted theft by the maid or accusing the maid of theft when valuables or money are lost. Most of the maids come from average or poor families in search of work and high salaries to support their family and childrens' school expenses and house/land purchase, etc. Theft of valuables and money in the employer's home is a possibility, so don't encourage or create a crime of possible theft by your own actions.

Get a prepaid telephone card and a cheap or your old/spare hand phone so that your maid can make calls back home with control their usage. You can deduct from the maid's salary or give the initial cost of the phone card as a small encouragement. A little 'carrot' will make the maid feel at home. As for other money matters, it is wise to let the maids handle themselves the sending of their hard earned money back home, otherwise if there is any dispute of the money not reaching their family, the employers may have to pay for the money lost.

If the maid does not improve in their work or becoming uncontrollable after working for a period or abusing the goodwill given to them or meeting with bad companies, it may be wise to cancel their service.

State proper instructions, requirements and warnings to the maid right from the beginning of their service. Have a good employer and maid working relationship for all. Good luck.

Ants / Diabetes / Alternative remedy

Most of us will find small ants unwelcome in our house. However, ants will help you detect an illness which we don't know we have.

Ants will find their way to sweet food and liquid. When you find that ants have gathered around the toilet bowl or on the toilet floor and if you are the only user, then you better go to see a doctor. There is a very high percentage that you are suffering from Disbetes.

However, a 5km walk daily will help diabetics to maintain a good blood sugar level with moderate consumption of all types of food.

Thank you ANTS.

Sweaty palms, feet and armpits

From Chinese saying, sweaty palms indicate the deficiency of the Heart and Lungs, sweaty feet indicate the deficiency of the Kidneys.

As it is a Water element problem, consuming Du Zhong, a tree bark will help relieve the condition.

Du Zhong, being Wood element helps to strengthen the Liver ( Wood) which helps to relieve the Water problem by discharging more waste water through the urinary system. This Wooden herb also helps the Heart as Wood ( Liver) builds Fire ( Heart).  Fire will help controls Metal ( Lungs).

Latest from TheDoctorsTv.com that Botox injected into the armpits, palms and sole of the feet can relieve the profused sweating.

Angry-sick patients

Do you understand the behaviours of seriously ill patients ?

Well, they are the angry lot, bad mouthed, scolding people and closed ones. Sometimes, they are out of their mind. Accusing someone of doing something to them which are not true or only half truth.

Why?

When too much toxins are collected in their body due to the failure or cancer of certain organs, the person becomes frustrated and angry. Different organs control different emotions.

When the patients are able to detoxify their bodies eg. kidney dialysis and clearing bowels etc, they will become calmer and relax.

Overcome Grief

Loss of a dearest one is the most painful experience in our life. There is nothing we can do about life and death. As the days go by, the sorrow will come to a low but it will not just go away. On certain occcasion, we will think of the decease while we are alone or lonely. It makes us sad that things should have done before the decease passed away but did not carried out because we did not expect this person to die. Have we done all the necessary effort to save this dear one? Is there time to save this person with the existing local medical technology? Have we done something beneficial for the person before leaving us? Did we do anything bad to this person ...

We only can pray that this person has completed their mission in this lifespan and moved on to the next life in a better environment. Good and bad memories cannot be forgotten. It always rolled back into our life like a cinema movie constantly reminding us who we really are and that life is so short. It must not be wastefully spent. If we live to an age of one hundred years old, we only lived for 36500 days. This figure is so insignificant.

Handling Alzheimer sufferers

Never try to reason with these sufferers. Their mind are basically locked in a past time zone or imaginary situation. Most of their demands are imaginary; loud, unreasonable and unreal. Their eyes droop down while looking straight at you.

If you try to explain to them about their imaginary encounters, situations or demands, it is usually a waste of time which may cause both parties into a heated exchange of words or rise in temper.

The smarter solution is to understand what they really wanted and find out their life before contracting this illness and which circumstances they are trapped in. They are able to remember the past more than the present.

Play along with their imaginary story or act to reach a smooth outcome so as  to calm them down.

When they are awoken or jolted back to present time or after a nap, they will forget what they have done, acted or said most of the time.

If they are fit to move about, get a tracking system place on them, otherwise time and effort are wasted to trace their whereabout. A GPS tracking system should be placed in their shoes, otherwise they will forget to bring along with them. A tag included their personal particular with their home address and contact number should be carried on their neck. They will forget where they stay.

Method for softening tensed muscles

Use a soft rubber mallot or strong vibrator to hammer with soft pressure for 200 to 300 times daily. Tensed and hard muscles will slowly become softer. Tensed muscles impede chi and blood circulation. Tensed neck and shoulder muscles may increase the chance of High Blood Pressure.

Depress on the tensed muscle using a rounded object, thumb or elbow for about 5 seconds each on all area regularly will also give similar result.

A Simple Story

Long ago, there was a well known flute musician who played beautiful music which could mesmerise his audience. He told a group of friends that he would track into deep jungle and play to the wild animals which he claimed would be tamed by his beautiful flute music.

One day he went into the jungle and started to play his flute. True enough, a group of wild animals, elephants; lions; tigers; cheetahs; leopards; horses; buffaloes and so on began to gather slowly around the musician. All the animals were were enjoying and praising the musician for playing such beautiful music.

Suddenly, without warning, a black panther came charging from a distance to the surprise of the other animals. It sprang on and killed the musician.

One of the animals in the group, an elephant, asked the black panther why it wanted to kill the musician who played such beautiful music. The black panther looked amusingly at the elephant in the eyes and asked,'' What ... did ...  you ...  say ?  . . . . . . .  I ... am ... deaf '' .

The purpose of telling this story was to bring a message across. Never brag too much. Don't be too complacent. There are always exception. Not every living things think or act alike.

Weather and Health

How does weather influence your health?

A person travelling from a hot climate country to a cold climate country and back will sometimes become feverish. The colder the weather, the higher the chance of  fever.

The reason being the person is heaty or hot in body nature staying in a hot climate, the skin pores are usually open allowing free circulation to balance of body heat with the climate.

When this person travels to a cold country, the skin pores become closed. Heat is trapped in the body. Discomfort may or may not be felt.

When this person returns to the hot climate country, the skin pores are still closed due to the extreme coldness and changes in the skin tissues resulted from staying in the cold climate. The body heat cannot be released from the person to allow free flow of circulation to balance the heat in the body and the climate. Fever will be the outcome.

To prevent or minimise this problem,

1. perform heat therapy ( scraping the body skin ) on the back  to release the body heat before going to a cold climate country.

2. dip in a hot pool or have a long hot shower to force open the skin pores immediately after returning.

3. drink ginger tea to warm the body and promote blood circulation and to release the cold/dampness in the body.

4. go for heat therapy again if the above counter-actions are not effective.

For fever resulted from going from a cold-hot-cold climate, heat therapy can be performed too.

How to reduce Power, Gas and Water consumption in our domestic life

Electrical Power

-----------------------

1. The main usage of electrical consumption are in the air conditioners, water boilers and electric cooking. These home appliances consume more than 1 to 3 kw/hr. There are many ways to reduce the heavy usage which in turn reduces the greenhouse effect of the earth.

a. The air conditioners can be substituted with powerful house fan which consumes less than 100W, that is less than 10 times the power usage of a normal air conditioner. Alternative, switching on only an air conditioner with the addition of fans will save more energy instead of switching numerous air conditioning units. The comfortable room temperature is around 27 degree Celsius. Any colder temperature will require blanket or sweater and frequent visit to the toilet.

b. If slow and long period of cooking is required, using charcoal will be more appropriate. It is also known that charcoal cooking produces better cooking because of even heat distribution.

c. The spotlights burn a lot of power. Change it to the energy saving lights.

d. Using Solar heater.

e. Special heat reflective paint painted on the roof top and external walls and planting grass or having a garden over the roof will reduce the heat penetrating into the house making the house cooler and thus reduce the load on air conditioning.

f. Connect a Power Saver if there are numerous lightings in the house. It can reduce the current usage which directly lowers the power consumption usage. The more the lightings, the more is the power savings. There is however not much power savings from other electrical appliances.

Gas

----------

Frying with a big fire give the food a shiny, crispy exterior and soft interior texture. The food tastes better. The nutrients will be contained under the crispy skin. The cooking time will be shorten.

Frying with small fire for long period will produce tough meat texture or soggy vegetables. The nutrients in the meat and vegetables will be destroyed by overcooking.

Pressure cookers save fuel gas. With high pressure inside the cooker, the boiling point for cooking is correspondingly lowered. Tough meat softens more quickly than in normal cooking which needs more gas. The food inside the pressure cooker will continue to boil for sometime even after removing from the fire because of the higher internal cooker pressure.

Water

-----------

Most of the shower system has a valve attachment to slow the volume of the water gushing out through the sprayer. Most of family members will simply turn the tap to maximum regardless of water wastage. Similarly add water valves to all water taps.

Place sealed bottles or containers in the sanitation flush system to reduce the volume of water needed for flushing.

Water the plants with water used for washing rice, vegetables and seafood. It is a natural fertiliser.

Collect water used for washing clothes to flush toilet.

Meaningful slogans

Luck always multiply when it's accompanied by planning.

Winners don't do different things, they do things differently.

The person who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.

The Power to form our Destiny lies in the Heavens, the Right to change it lies within us.

Casino Gambling

There is a hot fever going around at Resorts World Sentosa and Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. All Singaporeans and permanent residents who wish to enter into these casinos have to pay a $100 entrance fee for a limited duration of 24 hours or a $2000 yearly membership for unlimited admission. The newspapers have reported that within these few months of operation, the combined entrance fee has reached a whooping $70 million. There is no fee charged for foreigners. It worked out to be about 700,000 admissions by Singaporeans and permanent residents.

What are the possibility of winning in casino with all the geomanic power in place to 'suck' from the punters. Very few lucky and smart punters would win. If you enter the casino with the notion of just having some fun and do not mind losing some cash. That is all right. If you are betting your life saving, you are dead meat.

Greediness is one of the main reasons for all downfall. When you win in the casino, you expect to win again and again and you will continue to bet . You lost. When you lost so much money, you want to recover back your loss by betting even more by going back to try your luck. The final score is that you still lost. In the process of getting money to bet, you borrow from friends and family; loan sharks, credit cards and pawn jewelleries etc. Without money to repay your debts, you sell your house and property. You also destroy friendship and family unity when you fail to make repayment, breaking promises and losing trust. This scenario will happen in real life.

Casinos are basically operating an honest business, however they are creating Karma in their own perspective. It is an usual practice for these organisations to donate to charity in the hope to minimise their Karma and at the same time promote their organisations which is tax deductible on expenditure. Their services and products are causing greed and harm to humans even though they did not literally pressure anyone to play in their casinos. The convenience of accessing to these casinos attracted more locals and PRs daily, retirees or after work.  It is not a game of luck anymore when the punters who are professionals; rich, educated or uneducated become irrational in thought and actions. Hard earned money and life long-savings being wiped out in mere minutes, hours or days.

The horoscope stars of the punters are also to blame for their sorry plight. These punters are attracted to Fire which represent the south, Marina Bay Sand or southern island Sentosa. The daily star also affects individual punters on each particular day. There may be two fine days in a period of twelve days. If the punters do not feel right on a particular day, they should not try their  luck in the casinos. They should bet during the auspicious hours suited to their individual star to boost their chance of winning. The geomancy of the casinos have to be studied carefully and not play in an inauspicious location. The star of the casino staff  of each table or section have to be studied carefully too. If the punters keep losing at a particular table, he should head to another table or wait for a staff rotation change . Never stay or play too long. Without proper rest and sleep, your mind is not in focus. There is always a change of luck every two hours with the change of the time of the day. Never bet with money needed for bill payment and household expenses. Only play with extra cash that will not affect anyone if the money is lost through betting. When there are anxiety and desperation in winning bets with the needed cash, the final score will end in disappointment. Stop betting and come back on a better day.

All punters want to win, so as the casinos. Arm yourself with knowledge to let yourself have a better winning chance. Winning with luck is simply just lucky but not every day is that lucky. Knowing how to win is more realistic. A slot machine will not cough out money immediately after someone has just won the jackpot. A slot machine which did not cash out after many players have played, has a better chance of cashing out.

Please don't tell your dear ones after you have won in the casino that you have worked hard for your family daily expenses. When you lost,  don't brag that you have made a large contribution to the Singapore economy.

Even with all that have said, it is still too risky to bet in the casinos. Remember whatever happen in the end which is usually negative, you have just learnt an expensive lesson. Please do not report to the nether world to become another ghost gambler.

Have the Wisdom to lead a proper life.

Marriage and Divorce

Why a beautiful relationship can ends in divorce?

Is it fate that brings a couple together and is it fate that separate them ?

Below is an analysis of the 5 element theory of the birth data which can foretell a relationship of a couple :

Case 1. The couple are made for marriage if the elements needed by both spouses can be found in their corresponding birth stars. This is a good marriage combination. Example: Spouse A has excess of Water element but deficient in Wood element while Spouse B has excess of Wood element and needs Water element to balance the birth stars ( Ba zhi ). They are both attracted to each other.

Case 2. If Spouse A needed Wood element and Spouse B does not have the element in his/her birth star but only appears in the 10 years fortune star, Spouse A would still be in love with Spouse B. However, Spouse A may begin to change in attitude; behaviour;  interest or love etc towards Spouse B when Spouse B move to a new 10 years fortune cycle without the element required to balance for Spouse A.

Case 3. Continue with Case 2. When Spouse (A) comes to a 10 years fortune star cycle under the love affairs star, Spouse(A) may be attracted to a new person and have love affairs outside their marriage.

If fortune is read in advance or love affairs have just begun, there may be solutions to save the marriage using geomancy and 5 element balancing.

It is the powerful planetary influences on the person that is creating the changes. It can be said to be predestined but destiny can be modified or corrected.

With this information at the back of the mind of readers, there are other important conditions to note. These are :

To love the person with the purpose of giving and having a lifelong companionship will produce a lasting marriage than expecting what can be received from the person in marriage. When the wants become unattainable, dissatisfaction will arise.

To change oneself to suit your partner will be simpler than changing your partner to suit you.

Sleeping or staying in an inauspicious location, bedroom or house may cause frequent quarrels within the family unit which may lead to breakup.

Religious prayers is one of the way to seek help.
